Temporary architecture
$64.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Temporary buildings can be both interim solutions that no longer serve a purpose at a specific point in time, or projects constructed for special occasions. In all instances, they take possession of a location for a certain time, giving it a new meaning and quality. Architects who create temporary architecture have to plan the disappearance of their work from the outset.(...)

Summary:
Temporary buildings can be both interim solutions that no longer serve a purpose at a specific point in time, or projects constructed for special occasions. In all instances, they take possession of a location for a certain time, giving it a new meaning and quality. Architects who create temporary architecture have to plan the disappearance of their work from the outset. The ephemeral nature of this architecture allows architects to focus in a very specific and precise way on what is essential and make very pointed architectural statements.

Summary:
De la critique théorique à l'analyse des tendances, de la théorie des objets à la scénographie ou à l'aménagement du territoire, l'architecture est toujours un projet. Elle interroge par le projet, invente formes et concepts ; participe davantage à la transformation des sujets, des manières d'être et de percevoir qu'elle ne construit des bâtiments. L'objet qu'elle partage avec tous les producteurs de sens ou de forme est"l'invention de nous-mêmes". Le "dispositif architecture" décrit la transmutation des habitudes de faire, la disparition de notions obsolètes et la formation d'une nouvelle réalité. Cet assemblage constitue une stratégie de projet et un label, Architecture Action. Cette activité est la création de concepts, dans une signification qui rend compte aussi bien du travail de l'agence de communication que du travail de la philosophie et de la construction de nos manières de vivre. Les textes sont ainsi rassemblés, sans distinction entre les documents critiques et ceux plus directement entrelacés à des démarches de projet. La brièveté de la valeur accordée aux produits - les bâtiments et les villes se déclassent comme les objets - s'est accompagnée du déplacement de l'intérêt des architectes vers les procédures de conception : l'objet compte moins que l'appareil de sa conception.

Summary:
Architecture depends - on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess: the real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues with conviction in this engaging, sometimes pugnacious book, cannot help itself; it is dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and contingency. Circumstances invariably intervene to upset the architect's best-laid plans - at every stage in the process, from design through construction to occupancy. Architects, however, tend to deny this, fearing contingency and preferring to pursue perfection. With Architecture Depends, architect and critic Jeremy Till offers a proposal for rescuing architects from themselves: a way to bridge the gap between what architecture actually is and what architects want it to be. Mixing anecdote, design, social theory, and personal experience, Till's writing is always accessible, moving freely between high and low registers, much like his suggestions for architecture itself.
